[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] tmjohnsonfse:
I have flashed a lot of 4.1.1 roms and if you really think about it there is not much change that can be really be done with the same base. So in reallity they are all going to indistinguishable to a point. What I like about X2 that is by far better then experia Z rom is the built in theme for moto and Alexander. I really like both of these themes and then I asked Blacknight to build me a flashable zip to change the lockscreen clock to all white instead of the way they are colored now and I'll be content. You are also correct that you are entitled to your opinion and in this thread you can express your opinions all you want. That is why this thread was created, it is for people to express their opinions and knowledge about a rom we all like and along the way we may be able to learn something or teach someone something. I've only been using Android devices for about 1 1/2 years now and the reason it is so great is that we can do what we want with it instead of the the apple device that can only be customized on the outside. Talk about not being indistinguishable.

The one thing I wish that could be done a little better when expressing our thoughts is not to be condenscending to each other. I know that it is difficult sometimes, but for the most part we are adults and I don't know why it is that hard to act like one. I was always taught that if you want to be respected then you should be respectful. I guess that I am just getting old and those traits are slowly disappearing.

I am interested in what everyone thinks is the best improvement over X1. Like I wrote earlier, I really like the ability to set the theme that I had previously been using anyway without having to flash seperately and being worried about what function my get broken. Also, I think the UI feels smoother then it did in X1, which was really good also.

What I don't like is that the lockscreen clock colors with the themed setup is not good. I don't know why it bother me so much, I guess it is the fact that it is the first thing you see when you turn on the display. Like I said earlier, Blacknight said he would try to make something this weekend that can be flashed to make the clock and the date all white.

What I would like to see in the next update would be a AOSP style lockscreen that is customizable. I know that jovy is working on lockscreen options based on the Darth Rom controls. I just don't know if that would include a lockscreen that can be customized.

Sorry for the long post, I was just bored here at work, mostly because I just don't feel like doing what I should be doing and I have been reflashing the rom in different ways. Has anyone had any luck going back into the aroma installer and flashing any of the addons. I am not sure if I am doing something wrong or not, but everytime I try I get a bootloop and have to restore a backup.

I look forward to see what everyone is feeling about the rom and what they would like to see in the future.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mgbotoe:
Naw but i see in the future they will slowly merge into one with the same features (which is what I hope does not happen). The aroma settings are 95% the same...cept darth comes with the option for boot sound. Feel could have made most of the mod into options with Darth..that is specific to darth yanno? There are many things that could have gone into the aroma to make it still unique from XZ lol, like i've said its not a big deal but that's just my feeling on it :P

One thing I do like about X2 is that it does not come with all the left over sonny things.

---------- Post added at 05:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:57 PM ----------

Ya respect can be thrown in there but when you spent sometime trying to work around a bug you are facing... and getting nothing but disrespectful comments left and right from people "who got everything working fine, you must be the problem" kind of a response....being mindful to people posts can become hard. But all is out of my system now though

And no worries, I do not do my work...at work either lol.

As for adding features thats one issue i never had problem with. Which recovery are you using?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] tmjohnsonfse:
It's not adding them during the install, I tried to go back and just add the note camera without selecting anything else and I got boot looped. I'm using latest twrp. More then likely it was user error. I thought I read it as if you want to just do an addon just select and flash. Any ideas?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jcbofkc:
Don't worry about it. Sorry I came on strong. I try not to. Working crazy hours does things to people. I was hacked off you told me to use the search feature when all I did was answer a question for someone. I took it as a lecture directed towards me. After thinking about it I am assuming you just quoted the wrong post. We are good.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mgbotoe:
I actually only experienced that with XZ lol I did a clean download of the rom and it went through, should try it. But with X2 i haven't experienced that though...I deleted installed somethings just to make sure it was working. Still recommend a clean download
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mgbotoe:
Did anyone tried out the new update for googleplay? Its very nice
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] tmjohnsonfse:
I'm on my 3rd battery cycle and last night before I went to sleep my phone was fully charged. I wanted to compare my idle battery drain vs. X1 idle battery drain. With X1 I was using 1%/hr, with X2 I'm losing 0.5%/hr. Major difference is I'm on stock kernel with X2 vs non-stock with X1. I think the difference is I didn't install maps this time. I always leave GPS on and maps would cause wake locks. Without maps installed my phone is idle with no wake locks for six hours. I am definitely impressed with six hours and only 3% battery loss.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] imilleson:
That is impressive, but how do you live without maps?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mgbotoe:
I use my map once a month :P haha

and thats a pretty nice battery though. I finally got X2 to work on my phone...I took out all the script and all things fancy, restored back to root66 and reflashed with a clean buildprop that did not come with anything i will not used.... and no int. script. It works smoother than a babies bottom.

with my battery honestly I loose like 1% in 10 hour without touching my phone lol i love this battery -.- went to sleep with 100% woke up with 99%...deep sleep throughout.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] tmjohnsonfse:
I have a good sense of direction. :)

Edit: I don't ever use maps since I usually know where I am going. If I need to use I will just re-install the apk. I do like good battery life though. That is hard to come by. That is why I am not flashing a new kernel yet. I don't usually stay stock, but jovy's results are to good to pass up. I usually undervolt/underclock when I used custom kernel anyway.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mgbotoe:
Only reason I use different kernels. Lean already undervolt add that to underclock it's heavenly
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Araltd:
Noob question.

What's the process to backup my apps from my current setup, format system, wipe all caches, install x2 on a fresh internal memory card, then restore my previously instated apps?

I've got titanium backup installed. I'm using twrp. I've done the "backup" in twrp which is the Nandroid backup right?

I know how to format system, wipe cache, but I have no idea how to backup and restore only my apps from my current x1 setup after I install x2?

Sent using T999 with DarthStalker ROM
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mgbotoe:
Use titanium to back up your apps and data just simply press back up apps well be store internal sd you can also choose external than once you flash just restore the apps will have your data and everything. Like can pick up games where left of

[HTC One S] dc211:
I was wondering if anyone has been able to force their One S to the 1900 band for WCDMA and actually gotten 3/4g? I tried it on a sense ROM but I could only get Edge. Anyone have any success with this?

______________________________________________________

SOLVED: I was using an older .16 t-mobile radio. Switching to the latest TMOUS radio did properly switch WCDMA to 1900.

To change the WCDMA Band you can do it by

dialing *#*#4636#*#*

Select Phone info

pushing the menu button

Select Radio Band

Choose USA band (USA Band is 1900) in all android version.

Turn radio off then off.

To revert back to normal behavior you can reboot the phone and or choose automatic.
[HTC One S] dharvey4651:
I have a TMOUS HTC OneS and I get reasonably fast 3/4G speeds. I don't think I'm actually on the 1900mhz frequency though. I'm pretty sure TMOUS uses 1700.
[HTC One S] djdanska:
They have started using both now. Refarming the bands to use aws for LTE (and hspa) and pcs for gsm and hspa
[HTC One S] dc211:
Yeah they are changing their 3g band to 1900 so iPhones can get data and to clear up 1700/2100 for LTE. I have a friend who's lives next to a broken 1700/2100 tower. Down speed at her house is 10-20KB with 5 bars of 4g. Despite multiple calls to T-mobiles level 3 tech support they swear everything is OK.

I've been able to get around it by forcing phones (nexus 4 & SGS3) to 1900. Unfortunately I haven't found a ROM that functions like I would expect it to for the One S. Forcing 1900 on the One S kicks the phone into 2g mode instead of changing WCDMA to 1900.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chester57:
recently my phone is auto updated from 4.1.1 to 4.1.2 , but after that i cant play any games that i downloaded from the internet for free , i downloaded gta vice city before it was running smoothly when i was using 4.1.1 (btw i have to say both of those versions was rooted) , but now i cant play anything that i downloaded , in gta vice city i click on the logo and its just going in black screen , when i press the home button everything is fine im back in the screen but like i said game is not starting , its the same for the dark knight but a little different because when i touch the dark knights logo first i see the logo of gameloft but after that all the same it goes into the damn blackscreen ..

but i can play asphalt 7 which i bought from google play.( but first time i tried to open asphalt 7 it was the same with the dark knight ;blackscreen after gameloft logo , i'm not sure why but it is working for now)

so my question is obvious why is this happening ?

is it because of 4.1.2 ?

because i did everything as i did in 4.1.1 ( i mean the installing parts of the games)

so thank you for reading my post and i appriciate any help i can get from you guys.

thanks

Try a full cache wipe and factory data reset after backing up your data

Then reinstall the apps you were trying(illegally :p) and they should work like a charm on 4.1.2 as most apps work better on the new firmware :laugh:

Easy ; i wont pay for an app before i try . i use it with non legal ways and see if it deserve the money i will pay , if it is i will buy the original app like TuneIN , swiftkey sketchbook , power amp , asphalt and more ... i bought them all but first i try them for a week .

Sony Xperia Z "USB-OTG support"

[YOUTUBE]YqqLBCllVJM[/YOUTUBE]

Update:

Ok Im doing some tests with battery life.

(Battery test is not complete yet., more accurate results will be ready on Monday) And I want to tell you guys for now I can say the battery life with out STAMINA mode is

very

good.

All day from morning until now I'm using my phone every 5 min. Pictures, videos, internet, games, apps....long story short the phone was on very active use.

(I did so many restarts also)

Now guys pay attention to grey UI colors (background)

When you put screen at maximum brightness, it begins to seem that black color looks greyish !

But after looking closely you realize that this is dark grey color . You may have at first look a illusion of bad screen. But again it just grey UI. (why sony did that ?!).

Example:

(PS When the first deodex rom will appear, I will make a nice theme for us, witch is will bring much eye candy UI like this: AOSP Jelly Bean theme)

However I took a picture to show you something.

This is a "black" wallpaper from Cyanogen mod 10.1 bootanimation.zip with full brightness at dark room.

As you see dark is not dark enough ;)

Here is some camera comparison.

Night time in nasty foggy/rainy weather:

Nexus S (CyanogenMod):

Zsex (sorry I slightly smeared the picture) :

I also did some cool picture of the device :)

(Night look)

UPDATE: 02/25/13

Guys I have a bad and good news.

Let's start with the good news.

STAMINA not just a stupid energy mode. It's kind of intelligent scanning program. Witch is tracking all active process.

You will ask me "what do you mean ?"

Example I using BeWeather app. (very nice weather application, very sexy and provides beautiful widgets)

Today I got notification:

Not bad yea :) ?

Now bad news.

The battery life is bad. Yes guys. More bad than Galaxy S III.

My phone was on charge all night (more than 9 hours). When I woke up I activate STAMINA mode.

I always listening music and surfing the internet when I in bus. (from New Jersey to New York)

The way is around 2-3 hours.

(due to my C6603 model witch is not working with Tmobile 4G, Im using tmobile hotspot)

Long story short I arrived to the work. Check my battery status:

With the same active usage:

On galaxy S3 I got at least: 79-83%

On galaxy note 2 I got at least 92%

So if you see I providing only true info. Where is no bulls.h.i.t.

And another good news ;)

I get a lot of compliments because of this phone. The phone is sexy as f*ck

Regards.

UPDATE:

Ok guys I found something interesting !

We all know about the liquid indicators witch is are generally placed in similar locations (under the battery) These indicators turn red when exposed to water, which can void your warranty.

So Xperia Z also have that "liquid indicators" and its located inside under protective pads.

If you have headphones/earphone with controls can you check if the controls work (To skip tracks).

On the Note 4.1.2 you can only pause/play songs with your headphone controls. (Unless you do some modifications)

Edit:

Since you're going to remove the anti-shatter protector, can you apply the 2 screen protectors that came in the box.

Can you tell if they keep fingerprints or not.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avetny:
I just installed original screen protector from the box.

The front side I removed in 20 min it looks ugly.

But I left the back side (for the scratch security purpose)

So original film (witch is coming in box) leaves fingerprints too.

Quality is good.

BUT the SGP is muuch better for sure.

I ordered and will post pictures soon.

Run the classic stability test for 5 mins and then tell me if the CPU speed gets decreased as well as the temperature reading.

IF THE TEMPERATURE GETS TO HIGH (

around 60 Celsius
